And God smiled again,
And the rainbow appeared,
And curled itself around his shoulder.

The Creation, st. 7James Weldon Johnson

He smiled a kind of sickly smile and curled up on the floor
And the subsequent proceedings interested him no more.Bret Harte
I smiled at him but knew it did not reach my eyes. I smiled because he smiled at me, more reflex than emotion. Inside I was nothing. It was a little like being in shock. Shock is nature's insulation, the thing that shuts you down so you can heal, or sometimes so you can die without hurting, or being afraid...
Laurell K. Hamilton
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.Yip Harburg
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I?Yip Harburg
Why is it that right-wing bastards always stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity, while liberals fall out among themselves?
